Answer:
Metal excess defect due to anionic vacancies
Anionic vacancies are found in alkali halides such as NaCl and KCl. In this defect, the negative ion is missing from the lattice site leaving behind a hole which is then occupied by an electron to maintain electric balance. These electrons are trapped in the anion vacancies.
